CHAPTER 5 PERIODIC CLASSIFICATION OF ELEMENTS
EASY NOTES
1. Development of the Periodic Table:
👉The periodic table is an arrangement of elements in a systematic manner based on their properties.
👉Dmitri Mendeleev, a Russian chemist, is credited with the development of the first periodic table in 1869.
👉He arranged the elements in increasing order of their atomic masses and observed periodicity in their properties.
👉The modern periodic table is based on the atomic number of elements.
2. Modern Periodic Law:
👉The modern periodic law states that the properties of elements are a periodic function of their atomic numbers.
👉Elements with similar properties are grouped together in the same vertical column called a group or family.
👉The period number indicates the highest energy level or shell of an element.
3. Periods and Groups:
👉The periodic table consists of seven horizontal rows called periods (1 to 7) and eighteen vertical columns called groups (1 to 18).
👉Elements in the same group have similar chemical properties because they have the same number of valence electrons.
👉The groups are further divided into subgroups: s-block, p-block, d-block, and f-block.
4. Classification of Elements:
👉The periodic table is divided into four blocks:
👉s-block: Groups 1 and 2 (except hydrogen) containing alkali metals and alkaline earth metals.
👉p-block: Groups 13 to 18 containing metals, non-metals, and metalloids.
👉d-block: Transition elements (transition metals) located in the middle of the periodic table.
👉f-block: Lanthanides and actinides placed separately at the bottom of the periodic table.
5. Trends in Periodic Properties:
👉Atomic size: Atomic radius decreases from left to right across a period and increases from top to bottom within a group.
👉Valency: Elements in the same group have the same valency due to the same number of valence electrons.
👉Metallic and non-metallic properties: Metals are located on the left side of the periodic table, while non-metals are on the right side.
👉Electronegativity: Electronegativity generally increases from left to right across a period.
👉Ionization energy: Ionization energy increases from left to right across a period and decreases from top to bottom within a group.
6. Modern Periodic Table:
👉The modern periodic table consists of 118 elements, arranged in order of increasing atomic number.
👉Elements are classified into metals, non-metals, and metalloids based on their properties.
👉The periodic table provides valuable information about the properties, electronic configuration, and relationships between elements.
